Bizarre. When I read Lisp or Scheme I find myself counting parenthesis
a lot, but Smalltalk seems to have no syntax at all - just message

PS. Hey Avi, what was that you said waaaaay back when we were starting
Iphiginia? Something like, "among the enlightened there are Lispers and
Smalltalkers... I know which one I am." Was that quoted from somebody
else, or off-the-cuff?
